Atomized aromatics animatedly arise all a-twitter, alchemical amber alike to autumn. Billowing bubbles blossom in brassy bitter, buzzing, bursting, boiling from bottom. Carbonation climbs and coalesces to creamy chitter, a clinging, crackling, crown of cotton. Glass of nostalgia, sensorial memory transmitter, forever in mind and heart, never forgotten.

At a corner on my walk, a geographic marker beckoned. Letters carved in cement block, I see the cross streets "Beck" and "Second".
